SUBJECT
Effect of Potential 2% Cut in Personnel Strength
on the Office of the Comptroller
1. The workload of each of the components of this Office has
increased steadily over the past several years. The number of
personnel alone who are payrolled has increased roughly 28% since
1954. Tbere have been corresponding increases in related financial
services, changed government procedures, and reports required both
by and from the Agency. It is believed reasonable to assume that
the latter demands will continue to increase for some time to come.
2. Notwithstanding these substantial increases in our workload,
our overall personnel strength has not increased during the past
several years. Mechanization, streamlining of operations, and
increased efficiency in general has enabled us to accomplish this
increased work without a corresponding increase in personnel. Whether
this course of action will permit us to cope with the continuing
increases in our workload is problematical. We are reasonably
certain, however, that any reduction in our personnel strength could
result only in a lessening of the financial services now provided the
Agency.
3. We should like to further point out that even if an over-all
reduction is accomplished on an Agency-wide basis, from the workload
standpoint the last office which wouldtudoubtedly feel the effect of
such a.reduction would be the Office of the Comptroller. This is due
to the fact that our payroll and related peyment functions would
materially increase initially during the period of any mass retrenchment
or release of personnel
4. Comments mud statistics from each of the Comptroller components
relative to this matter are attached for your information and consider-
ation. Kindly advise in the event any clarification or additional
information is desired.
